A Wichita Falls woman has filed a federal suit against the U.S. government claiming an employee at a bowling alley on Sheppard Air Force Base poured hot nacho cheese on an unspecified finger.

According to the Federal Tort Claims Act suit, Jennifer Lindahl is seeking monetary damages of $95,000 and other relief as a result of her injury.

According to the original complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas Wichita Falls Division, Lindahl was at the South Lanes Bowling Center at Sheppard on Sept. 25, 2015, when she ordered nachos from the snack bar. She claims that when the snack bar employee brought over the cheese for the nachos, the cheese was spilled on one of her fingers.

"The cheese was so hot that it immediately caused burning," the suit claims. "The attendant wiped the cheese off with a rag causing Plaintiff's skin to be removed from her finger."

The suit claims that the government was careless, reckless and negligent for the following:

They failed to keep the nacho cheese at an appropriate temperature;

They failed to keep the nacho cheese from touching Lindahl;

They failed to pour the cheese on the nachos in such a manner to avoid the incident;

They failed "to take proper evasive maneuvers" to prevent the incident;

They wiped Lindahl's finger causing skin to be removed and further damage;

They failed to adequately trained the employee on proper food temperatures and handling;

And they failed to exercise due diligence and proper care.

The suit claims that Lindahl sought treatment for her injury at United Regional Health Care System's emergency room, where the wound was "cleaned, debrided, and bandaged without the aid of pain medication." The wound worsened, resulting in more trips to see a doctor and receive physical therapy.

The injury ultimately required surgery.

"The inability to use her hand normally resulted in Plaintiff being moved to restricted work hours and eventually caused her to lose her employment as a result of the injury," the suit says. Lindahl continues to have issues with the finger that was injured.

The plaintiff is asking for "judgment against the Defendant for such sums as will fully (sic) and fairly compensate Plaintiff for her injuries, damages, and losses in the amount of Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars; for post judgment interest at the applicable legal rate; for all Court costs incurred in this litigation; and for such other and further relief, general and special, at law or in equity, to which Plaintiff may show herself to be justly entitled."
